Chapter 463: Origin
"The ancient Maya's love for cinnabar is really deep in the bone marrow, and the origin murals are also depicted with cinnabar?"
Tang Qi, Rena and the others looked at the wall pointed by the old man, the dense murals, and the scene shown in the first area, which made people instantly judge, this may involve the true origin of the ancient Mayans.
The mural shows a powerful but primitive civilization in the ancient jungle of Yama, where various activities are underway, such as sacrifices, hunting or casting large heads, representing the flame of hope and civilization, burning in the city deep in the jungle.
But these hominids were clearly not "ancient Maya", judging by their shape, architecture and other details, they were the pre-Mayan rulers, known as the founders of the "mother civilization", the Vera people.
They do not occupy the main area of the mural, and the real protagonists are a group of unclothed, almost naked slaves, who are clearly the ancestors of the ancient Maya.
A hunting party composed of Vera warriors drove a considerable number of slaves to the plains, preparing to hunt the "Titan Elephant", which could provide the most meat at that time, and the slaves paid a huge price and severely injured the giant elephant, which is their value.
Until the next moment, a real behemoth, an "exotic ship" with a strange shape, pierced through the invisible world barrier, wrapped in pitch-black flames, and the hard earth was easily smashed through like tofu, leaving behind a terrifying ruin.
The Villa Warriors, as well as the Titan Elephant, were reduced to ashes in the pitch-black flames, and a group of slaves survived.
They waited for a day and a night, as if they had been guided in the darkness, and when the black flames were extinguished in the light of the moon, the slaves dared to step into the ruins...... At dawn, the slaves came out, they became different, and each of them gained unimaginable power.
These slaves established a tribe on the ruins, and they began to go on a foreign campaign, plundering other slaves and multiplying while fighting against the attacks of the Veras.
Gradually, they began to grow stronger, and on the contrary, the mighty Vera began to suffer from various natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, animal tides, and plagues...... The Vera people are weakening day by day, and the ancestors of the Maya take advantage of the opportunity to rise.
And in the last great famine, they exterminated the last generation of Vera people, plundered their capital, and within the great jungle of Amazon, a new overlord was born.
Finally, the rising Mayans rally around the "ruins", and the dozens of slaves who first stepped into the ruins all received their own "thrones" at this time, and the power they possessed, in the eyes of future generations, was indistinguishable from that of the gods.
Tang Qi and the others were all shocked and stunned at this moment.
As an adventurer and archaeologist, Rena Swinton, the whole person seemed to tremble, not fear, she felt excitement.
If you get closer, you can still hear her muttering.
"The truth of history, the mystery of the origin of the Mayans, the mystery of the demise of the Vera people...... I know it, I, Rena Swinton, can finally get rid of the shadow of those perverted ancestors of the Swinton family, as long as it is announced, what is the annual discovery award, the strongest adventurer, and the lifetime achievement award...... Everything you need, this trip is the right one. ”
Rena Swinton was a little stunned, but the rest of the group wasn't much better.
Except for the warriors of the god of war genre "Haisen", who are suspected of being illiterate, the rest of them are involved in occult knowledge.
And the secrets related to the Mayans and the Vera people, whether on the mysterious side or in the real world, are enough to shock the eyeballs.
As a polymath, Tang Qi is also very interested in this, and Rena Swinton's exclamation is largely right, if the mural in front of him is verified to be real, as long as it is published, it can immediately cause huge waves in both worlds.
The "Immortal Count Truth" he had discovered last time was nothing compared to it.
At this moment, the information fragments that appeared under Tang Qi's eyes were successfully verified in an instant.
[Strange Object: Origin Mural. 】
[Status: Normal.] 】
[Information fragment 1: The mural of the ancient Maya recording the origins of the ancient Maya, depicting an ancestor of the Maya, who later became the Mayan god of wisdom, Kells, because of his divine power, this mural is difficult to destroy. 】
[Message Fragment 2: Kells has fallen and cannot communicate with him through this mural.] 】
......
Immediately, the information fragments that suddenly exploded made Tang Qi's pupils shrink suddenly.
Unexpected information: The god of wisdom worshiped by the Mayans has fallen.
Suppressing the shock, Tang Qi and the others, their eyes completely focused on the wall, the pattern that consumed a lot of cinnabar and occupied the main position in each area, it depicted the strange exotic ship.
Kells' skill is astonishing, but the bright red cinnabar depicts a cold, dark style, a large, mysterious spaceship, completely black, as if covered in rust and slime, hard and cold metal, bone-like lines, like a fusion of purgatory and technology.
Its shape is an allegorical fit of the male genitalia.
Anyone who looks at it will feel the primal desire to procreate, reproduce, and kill that surges in the body, and the irrepressible desire to worship and catharsis.
"Aren't we there?"
The puppeteer spoke, his hoarse voice full of hesitation.
Then, Rena confirmed his suspicions.
"The origin of the Mayans originated from the out-of-control exotic spaceship, although the murals here do not show the picture of them building the holy city of Teotim, but judging from these metal pipes and styles, the Mayans must have built the holy city on the ruins of the ship's crash. ”
"That spaceship is their real holy land, the whole Teotim is built around it, and the Sky Tower is not built by the Mayans at all, it ...... is part of a spaceship. ”
"So we're in that ship right now. ”
Rena Swinton seemed to be completely unaware of the danger around her, and when she explained, her tone was undisguised with excitement.
The rest, after the excitement, were completely worried.
"The Mayans lost even the Holy Land in the end, what kind of power will destroy them?"
The puppeteer stared in horror at a mural on the wall, which showed the Maya destroying the Vera people.
The latter, as a "mother civilization", also had powerful extraordinary power in the early era of the Dark Age, and every "Wizard of Vera" showed powerful witchcraft such as summoning heavenly fire and floods, but they were not the power of the Mayan ancestors at all.
The dozens of Mayans who had entered the spaceship, in a grid of murals, directly transformed towards the "gods", and the power they held was jaw-dropping.
Especially their leader, a toothless, thin old man, behind him rose a sun, a moon, words and symbols representing civilization and truth, around the sun and moon, and wherever he passed, the people of Vera worshipped.
There is no need to speculate, even the transcendent warrior of the God of War school can recognize it, it is the god of the Mayan faith.
Of course, at the time of the mural depiction, he was only the first generation of patriarchs.
"We need to find a second mural hall!"
Extremely determined, Rena Swinton spoke.
Without waiting for others to refute her, she directly added the reason: "Only by solving the mystery of the fall of the Mayans can we find a way out, and in the future, we had better not touch anything related to the seal, even if it is a tempting curiosity or material." ”
As soon as Rena's reason came out, Tang Qi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
There is no doubt that her reasons are far-fetched.
Finding a way out is indeed related to how the Maya went extinct, but not so closely related.
Apparently, Rena Swinton completely ignored the danger at this time, and only wanted to know the truth about history.
"A qualified archaeologist, an adventurer with the madness factor in his blood. ”
When Tang Qi updated his opinion about Rena, the corner of his eye suddenly swept over the corner of the mural, and a circular symbol appeared, a faint glow overflowed, and a fragment of information exploded in Tang Qi's mind.
"A magical symbol representing teleportation, which does not correspond to the age of the mural...... There is still a teleportation effect, which requires a mana to activate. ”
Tang Qi's brow furrowed even more tightly when the fragments appeared.
At this time, he no longer suspected that in the shadows, there was a black hand or a will behind the scenes trying to manipulate everyone's movements.
Ignoring the teleportation symbol, Tang Qi inadvertently swept his gaze around and the inheritors who were still alive.
Special ability, fully activated.
Soon, the feedback returned, and he still didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
But the suspicion in Tang Qi's heart became deeper and deeper.
He has long understood that his special ability is not omnipotent, and some special means can completely hide from his eyes.
Donch didn't prompt Rena Swinton, nor did he get involved in several discussions about how to move forward.
Just quietly waiting, waiting for who will be the first to discover that "symbol"?
The answer will be revealed in a matter of seconds.
"Huh, this symbol seems to be ......."
The transcendent warrior "Haisen", who was discussing with the old man and the puppeteer, suddenly focused on the circular symbol.
He seemed to have discovered something, surprised and hesitant.
Under the slightly stunned gaze of everyone, he pressed his palm on the symbol and spit out his magic power.
A strong ghostly light burst out in an instant, engulfing several people.
There was no warning of danger, and in the process, in the ghostly light, a portal appeared, and the scene of safety at the other end clearly emerged, and everyone did not resist, including Tang Qi, vigilantly swallowed by the ghostly light.
The ghost light dissipated, and several people stood still again, and tacitly guarded a position, looking around cautiously and vigilantly.
It is still a slippery and disgusting corridor, and in front of you is a normal stone portal, and on the turquoise stone slabs, cinnabar outlines many symbols typical of the Mayans.
But these can't attract the attention of a few people for the time being.
They all looked at each side of the portal, where each stood a guard, a "guard" who was almost indistinguishable from a human.
